Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Tribehenin Peg-20 Esters

Non-ionic emulsifier and conditioner with cleansing properties; contains PEG derivative, check compatibility

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil

Pongam oil, rich in oleic/unsaturated fats for hair/skin care; comedogenicity unknown.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl P-Cresol

UV absorber with good stability; risk of contact dermatitis, control concentration.

Vp/Eicosene Copolymer

Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.

C20-22 Alkyl Phosphate

Long-chain phosphate surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; anionic, incompatible with cationic quaternary ammonium compounds.

Creatine

Skin conditioning agent for moisturizing and anti-aging; used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Peg-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

C20-22 Alcohols

C20-22 fatty alcohols for emulsion stability and viscosity; provide slip, high levels can be heavy.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Phénoxyethanol

Not decoded yet

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Trilinolein

Not decoded yet

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Acetyl Tyrosine

Tyrosine derivative used in tanning or skin conditioning; acts as a precursor or modulator in formulas.

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Cerium Oxide

Not decoded yet

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Disodium Edta

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Dextran Sulfate

Anionic thickener at 0.1-2% for gels; water-soluble, check compatibility with other ionic surfactants

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Oleoyl Tyrosine

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Triolein

Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.

Tripalmitin

Not decoded yet

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration

Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Medicago Sativa Extract

Alfalfa extract, tonic; flavonoids present, light-sensitive stability.

Trilinolenin

Not decoded yet

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Tristearin

Tristearin; high-melting fat for slip, structure, and occlusion. Used in cream bases; low comedogenic risk.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
